I hadn’t been on Elance all that long and I’d timidly submitted a few proposals… assuming nothing would come of it. But, lo and behold… I had someone respond. And, eventually hire me at 25/hr.

Which is insanely low for freelance web development…

I now know.

But… more than I’d ever made in my life.

It was like a bomb went off in my head.

All the doubts, the fears, the sneaky little lies I told myself that kept me from putting myself out there like that… just evaporated in an instant. Once I finally saw I can actually do this… everything changed.

I want you to think about that for a second.

Imagine if that was you.

How would that change your life?

How much better would things be?

Could you become a 6 feegure freelancer?

Now, I know that sounds all hypey.

Like, “yeah right”.

But, consider this…

By 2020, there will be 3.8M independent contractors making 100,000/yr according to a report from MBO partners, a self-employed service provider. In 2015, there were already 2.9M doing so… which is about 16% of all independent contractors.

That’s nearly 1 in 5.

So, you can say “pipe dream”…

But, lots of people are “on the pipe” then.

But, what I think is important here is:

How?

What do those freelancers know that maybe you don’t?

Or, what are they doing that you’re not?

Well, as one… I can tell you it’s a few things.

But, there’s two things that are more important than any of the others. First, is simply believing you can do it. I know, I know… bust out the peace pipe and let’s all talk about our feeeeeelingz…

But, it’s true.

Not believing is where the fear comes from. And, it stops you from taking action. And, nothing happens without action. Belief is what my first client gave me. And, making a “leap of faith” is really the only way to get there.

The second, though, is realizing it’s just a skill.

It’s like learning how to write a while loop.

The first time you’ll probably crash your computer.

But, you eventually figure it out.

What that means is that you CAN learn how to do it. You don’t need to be a natural (I’m not) and you don’t need to sell your soul or any of that. You just learn the simple things that matter… and then do it.

But, it also means you HAVE to learn it.

Six figs won’t just fall in your lap.

There’s stuff to do…

And, a right way to do it.

And, just like a missing semi-colon… some of the small details really matter. The things that might take you years to finally figure out. Things that wouldn’t immediately seem to matter… but do.

But, when it comes together…

Boom!

Things take off.

Anyway, like I say about learning how to code… there’s a hard way and an easy way to do this. There are people out there who have been through all this, know all those little details and will teach them to you.

Or, you can suffer through it on your own.

But, how much longer will it take?

What things might you never learn?

That will always limit your potential?

Something to consider.

Anyhoo, if you wanna do this the easy way… check out the Guide to becoming a Upwork Freelance Superstar in 2017 by Tim Hallowell. Tim’s one of Upwork’s Top Rated Freelancers and works full-time as a freelancer.

His course will show you everything you need to know…

Here’s what some of Tim’s students have said:

From Tajdar:

“Having gone through 80% of this course so far, what I’m really appreciating is that Tim is speaking from EXPERIENCE as opposed to running through a standard feature list or passing on any form of second hand information. Although I have extensive professional work experience, I’m completely new to UpWork so I love how effortless this course is making it to fill in the blanks between getting my experience to work on UpWork. For anyone considering buying this course because they want to get started on UpWork, I would say go for it! Definitely worth every cent you’ll spend to get your own profile up and running. Thanks Tim!”

From Stan:

“Great and well presented course! It lays out exactly what steps to take with clear examples. This helps me a lot on starting on UpWork. I definitely recommend it to people looking to start on UpWork. Thanks a lot!”

From Akiesha:

“I am new to Upwork , the course is really what I needed to get started. The examples were spot on. I will implement all the suggestions made. I look forward to landing my first client. Thank you for taking the time out to create this useful content.”
